I used to have an A1200T in the original version of the Micronik case (the mostly plastic one).  The Zorro II backplane was very flaky.  If I moved the case even a little bit, the system would lock up and on the next reboot cards would be "missing" from the system.  What I would suggest first is removing all the cards and simply reseating them in the same slots.  Do that with the power turned off, of course.  Then try powering up and see if your problem is gone.

I have tried that also, but with no luck  :-(
The card is listed in sysinfo and other similar programs, but as a 2mb card, when i try to install picasso96 or cybergraphix they cant find the card

Is the card in Zorro II mode? What OS are you running? Check VGR for information on the PIV.

EDIT: Also make sure you're not over the 8Mb ZorroII address limit. (What other cards are in the bus?) Also, what revision is the bus?
